Hello shipmates, 

So there I was, deciding at last to order myself a dodger for SURPRISE.  Once upon a time I despised fibreglass boats (but now I have one) I despised aluminium masts (but now I have one) I despised standing headroom down below (and now I have it) and I especially despised inboard engines, roller furling headsails and wheel steering (and now I have and enjoy all of them).
